CA Recall | Davis Files His Own Lawsuit

From the Modesto Bee:

Predicting "government by marginal and extreme political forces" if the election to recall him goes forward as planned, Gov. Davis on Monday added his own lawsuit to the stacks awaiting court action.
The California Supreme Court, which already has begun weighing four other recall-related cases, set a Thursday deadline for a preliminary round of written arguments on Davis' suit.

The governor also asked the same court to rule that he can run as a candidate to succeed himself if he is recalled -- a possibility that Rescue California, the recall committee, said "would only give Gray Davis the opportunity to lose twice in the same election."

What a surprise! A Democrat is inconvenienced the law and will turn to his courts to overturn it in his favor.

Sounds like Davis would prefer to recall the people, and elect another…

Don’t play Monopoly with Gray Davis. He’s sneaking $500s when you’re not looking and now that he’s landed on Free Parking he says he gets all your houses.

It’s in the rules, he’ll have his lawyers show you - later.
